I believe it's titled after the Tanya Tucker song from 1992

I cannot STAND Alex or Malex so that proposal did nothing for me. Zero feels, zero fucks. And before anyone comes for me, I feel the exact same way about Max & Liz. I just...both couples are so toxic and boring. But I guess congrats Malex fans 🤷‍♀️

I swear, if I had to listen to Isobel and Anatsa call each other babe one more time

It ran on the WB for seasons 1 and 2 (1999-2001) and then packaged with Buffy and moved to UPN for season 3 (2001-2002). It only ever aired on Sci-Fi/Sy-Fy in reruns after the show ended...which I think happened fairly quickly, possibly a year or two later. I didn't have cable yet during that period I was in high school and if the show had moved to cable at any point while it was still airing, I would have been begging my mom to get it.

The 4th and final season starts on Monday, June 6th.

Everyone hyped this episode up to be the best of the season and just "SO GOOD" and I guess that must be only if you're a Malex fan? Cause there really wasn't anything that spectacular as a whole. Same shit, new day; wash, rinse, repeat. Max is in peril AGAIN. How exciting. Kyle continues to be the ONLY character that I enjoy seeing. I'd like more Kyle and less "domestic" Michael/Alex scenes; since those two bore the hell out of me. I hate the pairing and their lack of chemistry can't even sell me on it. Cosmic my ass. It's by Counting Crows. I really cannot stand what this show has done with certain characters and their importance or lack thereof, in the narrative as a whole (looking at you specifically, Max and Liz)

The only thing I can think about: if the trio ends up being related in one way or another, how will Michael and Maria feel about dating/sexing each other 😂

Can this show PLEASE cool it on the Max is dead/dying thing?! For the love of god, move on.

They should definitely thank the pandemic for this

Hulu doesn't have the original music, no streaming service does unfortunately. The only time you'll ever see the episodes with the original music is if they show it on tv somewhere (or you download them from the Roswell Restoration Project 😉). But Jason Katims DID pay the licensing fees to keep certain songs...like Here With Me and I Shall Believe which is the one you mentioned. The music was changed for the DVD release because keeping all of the original songs would have made the DVDs way too expensive so they had to change almost all of them, in order to keep the cost down. Music rights, especially at that time, didn't encompass all markets. So you had to get the rights for television airings and then again for DVD, and had streaming existed...again for that. Now I believe producers/productions can negotiate everything at once.

@AudienceofOne I'm really looking forward to your journey through season 2 🤣

Let's be real...besides major casting news, none of the major entertainment sites care about the show at all lol

Even if he truly and honestly thought he was even partially Native American just based on what his grandmother told him, unless he is a part of the tribe he claims and an active part of the community, traditions, etc; he is NOT in any way, Native American. If he found out he had a large chunk of Native ancestry in him, he would have to pursue that and put in the work to become a member. He did none of that and is none of that, therefore all he's been doing is appropriating a culture of which he is not a part of. Also...I'm super bothered with how he casually mentioned how small the pool was when he was talking about being half Native. That's so tasteless since he's actively STILL stealing jobs away from that small pool of actors who rightfully deserve the roles. *Full disclosure-I work in child welfare and we have worked closely with members of various Native American tribes due to ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act). I won't say all (but I'm definitely confident in saying all) would say exactly what I said above. Tyler is without a doubt, white, and always has been.* But it is definitely interesting to see how you interpreted the transcript, so thank you for that!

That's a fair point and I would have thought that was a possibility if I hadn't read this: https://adiwriting.tumblr.com/post/632079667488243712/over-the-last-few-days-there-has-been-a-lot-of This tumblr post has the transcript of the conversation. To me, it sounds like he went looking for Native heritage when a role hinged on him being more "ethnic." He identified as 100% white until he was up for the role of Caleb in PLL, in his mid 20s, when he went phishing for something else to give him the edge. I get that some families who have been here for decades might think they have indigenous ancestry (as his grandmother was told), but you best be damn sure it's true before you tell people that or use it to get jobs. It's not as simple as claiming the heritage, you have to actively be a member of the tribe you claim in order to be considered Native of any kind. Tyler took it and ran with it and has profited off of a lie for years and is continuing to profit off of it even now. He's stolen at least two jobs that could have and should have gone to actual MOC. It's just not ok. This is one more problematic thing for an already massively problematic show. This diverse cast? It's now even more predominantly and glaringly white.

When he was cast as Alex, a character with half Native American ancestry, he, along with CAM and the cast, claimed he was a NA playing a NA character. Journalists and fans took that at face value, because why would anyone think it was a lie? I did some reading after I posted my question last night and it sounds like Tyler was told that he might be, but then found out in season 1 that he actually had no indigenous blood. But he, CAM, and the cast continued to paint him as one. He just took the "might be" and ran with it. And now a large chunk of the fandom is completely writing it off as if that's not a big deal...
